Served Him Right.

A Brooklyn correspondent tells of a
young lady who was invited by her
lover to whom she had just become
betrothed, to take drive behind his
fast horse. The animal was perfectly
docile with his owner, but not to be
depended upon when other hands ma
nipulated the ribbons. After a spirit
ed trip down the Coney island road
the lover informed the lady that as he
had cold he thought he would stop
for moment and brace up on a cock
tail, if she felt that she had nerve
said the young lady, 81 am not in the
MEANS" The thirsty traveller stepped
to the curb, carefully covered the
quivering beast, and was soon lost to
sight. The young woman thus desert
ed quietly waited a moment, then soft
ly drew in the blanket, turned the
horses head and at the risk of her life
started for home. But anything was
preferable to the cOmpaniOnslip of a
trance of a public house while he
drank a gin cocktail at the bar. She
arrived safely at the stable, gave the
horse into competent hands, and then
proceeded to the telegraph Office. This
was her message: "Horse, carriage
and driver safe. The latter proposes
to remain safe. A word to the wise is
sufficient" Naturally the young man
tried to make excuses and plead his
cause, but every effort was useless.
"rhe man who could SO far forget him
self before marriage, would be beast
afterward," was the Incorporating
argument of this sensible girl.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

A Raymond & WhitcOmb vestibuled
excursion train from the Pacific coast
had q narrow escape from Il very seri-
GUS accident Nov. 30. While running
between Fitchburg aud North Leomin-
ster it ran into the rear of II freight
train which was trying to side track.
All but four cars were safely on the
side track when the crash came. Two
train men were seriously injured. The
freight car next to the caboOsc was
loaded with cotton and the next with
kerosene in barrels. The kerosene in
stantly took fire and both cars with the
baggage-car of the passenger train
were consumed. No passengers were
injured, but they were considerably
shaken up.
When the Raymond train was speed
ing along at about 20 miles an hour,
Engineer Richardson, while rounding
a sharp curve, saw a man waving fran
tically across the track white flag.
That not being a signal of danger, yet
seemed rather an unusual occurrence in
railroading he thought something must
be wrong, and he slackened the train a
trifie, and none too soon, for Just then
the curve was rounded and on the main
down track, but few rods ahead, was
the long heavy freight train just crawl
ing along over the frosty rails. 1t took
but an instant for the man at the throt-
tie to decide what to do. He blew the
whistle, put on the air brakes and re-
versed his engine. This did not slack
EN- the train sufficiently to prevent the
collision, and seeing it was inevitable,
both Engineer Richardson and Fire
man Dixon jumped. The former was
badly shaken up and the latter badly
hurt. The action of the engineer
slackened his train bit, but the force
of the collision was considerable. 1t
was keenly felt throughout the pas
senger coaches. Had it not been for
the action of that man with the white
signal, who was not connected with
lisiOn would have been much more dis
astrOus.
Engineer Richardson's remarks i'm
this connection are interesting. He
said: "If had had a train of our ordi-
nary passenger coaches L could have
come to a full stop and prevented a
collision, but those vestibule cars
make a mighty heavy train, and it
takes a tremendous amount of break
power to hold them then, again, |
don't think the brakes act as well on
them as on the ordinary passenger car.
They will not set up as strong. Why,
coming down the hin from Ashburn-
ham lost time. l had to run rather
slow because l was afraid the train
might get away from me-"

Decline of a Royal Family.

The vanity of human greatness is
strikingly instanced i'm the imperial
family of Germany. The Hohenzol-
lern family, whose strong men have
built up the vast military power of
united Germany out of provincial
duchy, is in a bad way. The emperor
is on the verge of the grave, and his
affectations of activity in reviewing
and hunting do not hide that his end
is near. His eldest son, the crown
prince, the best one of all that remark
able race, is stricken with fatal NAL
ady. His eldest son, the next in sue
cession to the imperial crown, who in
the heredity from such parents should
be of high physical form, has wither-
ed arm from birth, and chronic sue
cessiOn of assesses in his ears, threat
ening the brain, such as brought insan
ity and death to the last king of Prus-
STA. His son, the next heir, is but four
years old. The vast empire, built up
by a race of strong men, hangs be-
tween tOttering age and infancy, with
two fatally diseased lives between. 1t
is "a pitiable sight.

Sam Petersby's Goods.

Sam Peterby, merchant from the
interior, while visiting Boston to get a
sniff of salt water, united business with
pleasure by purchasing bill of goods
from a prominent firm. He was very
politely received, and one of the pro-
prietors showed him over the immense
store. On reaching the fourth floor the
customer perceived speaking tube Oh
the wall, the first thing of the kind he
had ever seen.
"What is that 2" he asked.
"Oh, that is a speaking tube it is a
great convenience. We can converse
with clerks on the first floor without
the trouble of going down."
'Can they hear what you say through
that 7" asked the visitor.
"Certainly /; and they can reply at
the same time"
"You don't say so! exclaimed the
visitor. "May | talk through it 2"
"Certainly,' was the reply.
The visitor put his mouth to the
tube and asked:
care Sam Peterby's goods packed
up yet 2"
The people in the Office must have
supposed it was SOMEBODY else speak
ing, for moment later the distinct re-
ply came back:
"NO. We have not packed them
yet. We are waiting for telegram
from his town. We believe he is a
slippery one"

ION, say, Dency, there's the awful
est job Be You a-gOin' hOmef Well,
send the doctor over here a-fyin'.
There's Teller throwed off his horse
jest nigh about the yard gate, and is
took up for dead. They've fetched
him upstairs to the spare chamber, but
they want DR.. Allen right Off"
Dency made good speed hOmeward,
and found the doctor had just come in;
so he turned back from the steps to
his Stacking buggy, and was soon at
his patients side.
Aunt Polly's tale was all true, but
Lame Jim was innOcently at the bot
tom of the disaster. He had found a
pumpkin in the road the day before,
which had rolled off some overlooking
load, and in the delight of his heart re-
solved to make '.jack- lantern"
Having properly emptied it of seeds
and scraped it thin, he cut out on one
round side a great grinning mouth and
teeth, eyes to match, and a triangle for
IA nose, and begging Aunt Polly for a
candle, had set the horrid mask on
top of one of the square gate posts by
way of experiment. His idea was to
illuminate the yard by it on Thanks
giving night. So, lest it should be
prematurely seen, he turned the face
toward the road, and was gravely ex-
aiming it at a little distance, with a
view to possible improvements, as a
sculptor might eye his statue, when
tramp of horses feet made him step
aside. The rider came fast, but the
horse, seeing that fearful cleaning Wis
age, suddenly shied, and his master
was thrown sharply over his head.
The terrified beast galloped down the
road, aud jim, running to the mans
side, found him entirely insensible.
Nor did he show any signs of life

Women who Wear Tight Shoes.

artist to n reporter. III there feet are
not poorly shaped they are apt to be
out of proportion by being too small
The reason is obvious. Women are am
bilious TO have small feet and hands
and at an early age they begin to wear
tight shoes. The result is that their
feet are cramped and do not grow with
the other members of the body. OF
course there are some professional mod

crumped their feet with tight shoes.

have small feet and hands they have
all that is necessary to give them n
shapely appearance. A worse mistake
was never made. Women who are
large should naturally have feet in pro-
